STAND BY FOR HEAVY ROLLS!

The phrase "Stand by for heavy rolls" is a warning to sailors passed over the 1MC before a maneuver that may cause a heavy roll.  The phrase is also used metaphorically to indicate the coming of challenging times..."challenging" such as the start of new school year.  So, "Stand by for heavy rolls!"

School will start on Tuesday, 6 September.  The cadet staff has been briefed and has a plan in place.  Be prepared:  our first uniform day is 13 September (see the calendar on our website for a complete list).  If you don't have Naval Science on your schedule, you will not be able to participate in NJROTC, so check your schedule as soon as possible and let us know if you have a problem.

See you on the 6th!
